The attached file is a bit of a mess, but it was all done to generate the 3D spline guide curves for the sweeps and lofts. I used the method in this video which teaches using the edge formed by the intersection of two surfaces and then project to sketch to capture the curve. One difference...

Hopefully this is a simple one for you experienced fellas. After I shelled the solid in the first picture, it displays as transparent instead of a solid grey model with a 1/4" wall, and it displays all construction lines inside and out. I went to the view tab in the shelled picture, and you can...

I've made a lot of progress learning Alibre but have several things that still seem to frustrate and cost me a lot of time. I'd sure like to figure out what it is I'm doing to avoid such. Here it goes. 1. I gathered that once a sketch is used for a modeling function, it is no longer available...

I try to exhaust the Alibre Documentation, YouTube, and of course help here in that order. It's a bit of a leap from 2D to solid and parametric modeling. I struggle with getting sketches fully/properly constrained, good work flow, editing, and modeling as I'm sure is obvious. Attached is the...

Joseph. I have viewed your YT lofting videos. I especially like this one: Very helpful, as complex as some of the lofted shapes are, unless I'm mistaken, the video never actually uses a 3D spline as a guide curve. It is a very important capability for me. I have invested a lot of time, viewed...

Need some help lofting fellas. The attached is the center section of a V8 automotive intake manifold. There are 8 pairs of port windows that need to be connected by loft. I have all of the sketches for the lofts in the correct positions except for two (more on that later). Attached is the file...

I'm still very much a novice and this file will probably emphasize that but I dont understand what is creating the problem with Loft 3. When I suppress extrusion 4 it displays fine but throws an error with extrusion 4 active. I'm trying to use the combination of features to create a machining...

Hi all, In the attached file I was attempting to loft (Loft 7) the filleted rectangle (Port Window) to the circular sketch (Carb Opening) along the 3D Spline (Runner Centerline). It fails and I get the error "SKIN_PATH_PROFILE_NO_PERP: Profile plane and tangent of the path are not...

Hi all, first post here. Recently purchased Alibre Pro v25. I have some previous experience with mostly 2D work, but new to Alibre as will become quite obvious shortly. I’ve taken in all the sketching and most of the modeling tutorials. I have some questions. Attached is a sketch of an intake...
